Yep looks like a smidge over .3” in the gauge. I’ll take what I can get! Official reading in the morning.

I know right

Ha ha so true!

LOL how funny is it that 'Green Water Solutions' was one of the 2 contractors hired to do the makeover. No bid federal contracts FTL.

Too easy

Chris Christy?

Did you see your reflection?

Yesterday was decent, but much less than forecast. Today was very underwhelming. 0.92" total. Its a start, but need to keep it coming. Go dry for 3-4 days this time of year in an extreme drought and back to square one.

The extensive ridge driving the warm pool from east of Japan to the north of Hawaii is more of a 2nd EOF -PDO type pattern. This is why most of the analog dates for early July are established or developing La Niña years. You would want to see a deep trough set up from Japan to north of Hawaii heading into next winter to turn the PDO more positive.

Sun is out with a nice cool breeze...it's really comfortable out

1.23" in Leesburg? Feels like the rain event of the month so far, although admittely I haven't been around much but the yard looks mid summer parched.

Ended up with. 50 no complaints here

Used to spend a couple weeks up near Petoskey and Charlevoix as well every season. Great golf country.

There is no drought west of the Alleghanies. In addition to the lush foliage everywhere, was out on DCL twice last week and the lake appears full, even fuller than it was in the early spring. You can see the effects of the drought clearly as close as Hancock, the landscape almost abruptly turns brown past Sideling Hill.

.58" total last 2 days. Not bad. The first 21 days of June produced a glorious .09"..

Is that blob in jersey gonna make it

I believe the biggest factor for PDO calculations is that pool of water south of the Aleutians and to the north/northwest of Hawaii.

Wunderground stations near you would support that, a lot of them around .3" give or take. Interestingly, the stations down here recorded a bit less despite being further south. I finished with .21" at home so your area was a nice little jack today.

This is by far one of the most interesting weather patterns we get during the Summer. Clusters of severe storms can ride down the side of the ridge. They can travel VERY long distances at times. We will watch to see how this unfolds in the coming days.

Is the 33 record breakers for stations with 80+ year histories all-time records or monthly records?

Translation: it'll still be very humid but the temp will be 90 instead of 100.

Just 0.23 for today and it looks to be done. Pretty disappointing given expectations

To each their own but meh. Besides the fresh seafood, I can do everything else right here locally on the shorelines of good ole Lake Michigan June-September. Wisconsin/Michigan/Indiana shores to be exact, IL beaches suck.

As if the sagamore wasnt already a huge bitch to drive through..what a nightmare

nothing beats a beach nap under a cabana with a light ocean breeze.
